Overview

Hosted by Ratio Christi in conjunction with the National Conference on Christian Apologetics (NCCA), this weekend for college and high school students is a full three days of great apologetics.

Live and learn together at the retreat center with your peers from campuses around the country.

The core of the retreat will focus on current hot topics.

Connect with distinguished faculty throughout the weekend.

Attend the three-day Student Apologetics Weekend including the NCCA and Ratio Christi retreat or just the retreat on Saturday night and Sunday.

Join us for study and fun!

Please note that there will be no Saturday afternoon National Whitewater Center trip this year due to student participation in the extended Student Apologetics Weekend opportunity with NCCA.

Speakers and Topics

Join the Ratio Christi staff and many other guests at the banquet to hear from Dr. J. P. Moreland ontba. Enjoy a great meal, mix with apologists and students from around the country, and hear testimonies by students as we recall what God has done with Ratio Christi and catch a vision for the future of the movement.

This option does not include NCCA. Includes Sat. Banquet, Sunday breakfast and lunch, and all sessions at RC Student Retreat. Please note that this year rooms/lodging are NOT included in the registration prices. However, you are encouraged to stay at the conference center and you can book rooms in the "Hotel Accommodations" section of the registration page for a low price.

Inexpensive lodging/rooms at the RC Symposium conference center are available for anyone attending or participating in some way in the Ratio Christi or National Conference on Christian Apologetics (NCCA) events from Wednesday, Oct. 11 through Monday, Oct.16th. Registration for Ratio Christi events is not necessary to book rooms. However, there are limited rooms, so they will be booked on a first come first serve basis. Symposium and student retreat attendees can also room elsewhere, though we highly encourage attendees to room in this location for convenience and fellowship. More Details and Location

We realize that the cost of attending plus travel may be more than students can afford "out of pocket." It is typical for students attending campus ministry retreats to raise financial support to help them attend. This can be a great learning opportunity in fundraising, teamwork, and prayer. We hope your club will plan together on how to get as many Ratio Christi students as possible to the retreat. The student organizing committee for the retreat has put together several Fundraising Tools that can be downloaded at the bottom of this page including a guide, sample fundraising letter, and more.

Our goal is to get every student that desires to attend to this event! Please contact us if you need additional suggestions or information on how to go about the funding process.

Scholarships may also be available on a limited basis if and when we receive donations toward student scholarships. If you do not have the full financial means to attend even after pursuing fundraising options please contact us with your specific need.

Also, some students who are local to the Charlotte, NC area may wish to save money by not staying at the retreat center on Saturday evening, or by not attending some part of the retreat. However, we want to encourage attendees to participate in everything. If someone wants to opt out of a particular event they can, but the price would not change. We really desire a “community feel” for this weekend which is the primary reason we want to have everyone stay at the same location. It allows for interaction and discussions other than during the formal meeting times. So, even those within commuting distance will stay in the same lodging. The Ratio Christi staff and faculty mentors will also be staying in the same location.
